Target Muscles

Instructions

  1. Start jogging at a comfortable speed, then gradually increase intensity.
  2. Add a slight incline (1–2%) to better mimic outdoor running.
  3. Keep your head up, shoulders relaxed, and avoid holding the handrails.

Tips

  • Start slow if you’re new; build up speed and distance gradually.
  • Listen to your body—don’t push through pain.
  • Stay hydrated and keep a water bottle handy.
  • Wear proper shoes to reduce impact on joints.
  • Mix it up with intervals (fast/slow bursts) to avoid boredom and boost fitness.
  • Don’t look down—keep your gaze forward to maintain balance and posture.
